BAKING-PAN.

Application filed October 27, 1913. Serial No. 797,464.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL W. BOGER, acitizen of the United States, residing at Houston, in the county ofHarris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Baking-Pans, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and usefu lIHPI'OVQlDGDiJS in baking pans.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of the characterdescribed for the purpose of baking bread and other like articles offood and is arranged so that the heat given off from the fuel burnerwill be confined so as to completely surround the pan, in which thearticles to be cooked, are located.

ii further feature of the invention resides in the provision of a bakingpan formed in two parts, an upper and a lower, the upper of which formsa covering for the articles placed in the lower, and the invention alsocomprehends a surrounding heat retainer to which the upper of saidpartsis fixed, said retainer entirely surrounding the baking pan proper aboveand on all sides, and

retaining the heat ascending therein, so that the same will surround thebaking pan on all sides and the articles therein will bake uniformly, onall'sides.

A further feature of the invention resides in the provision of a meansfor centering the heat retainer and the upper part of the baking pancarried thereby relative to the lower part of said pan.

ith the above and other objects in view, the invention has particularrelation to certain novel features of construction, opera tion andarrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specificationand illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 shows aside elevation of the com plete device. Fig. 2 shows a sectional sideview thereof. Fig. 3 shows a fragmentary plan view of the upper part ofthe baking pan proper. Fig. 1 shows a sectional side elevation thereof.Fig. 5 shows a fragmentary plan view of the device for centering theheat retainer. Fig. 6 shows an edge view thereof and also an edge viewof the platform which supports the baking pan, and Fig. 7 shows asectional side elevation of the lower part of the baking pan proper.

. Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like numeralsof referfrom the direct currents of once designatesimilarpartsin each ofthe figures, the' numeral 1 refers to astove of Specification of LettersPatent, Pateni d July any suitable type, having the burner 2 sup pliedwith fuel*through the pipe 3. Said burneris aimed underneath the burneropeningin the top of the stovea-nd resting upon said stove top over saidopening is a thin circular metallic plate lsmallerin'diameter than theburner opening'in the stove 1 so as to permit the flame from the burnerto pass up through the opening and around opposite sides, are fourfingers 5 which sup.

port said plate andfhave their free ends upwardly curved and providedfor a pur pose to be hereinafter described, Mounted 1 upon the plate disa removable platformfi, H

the baking pan proper. This part is a shallow pan having double wallsand an intersaid plate! Radiating from theplate 4, on

5 by-meansof suitvening layer of asbestos and the platform 6 3 isslightly larger in diameter than the diameter of the pan so as toprotect vsaid pan from the burner 2." 1

heat ascending The numeral 9 designatesthe heat retainer-1 which isformed with doublewalls and an intervening layer of asbestos. Thisretainer is pan-shaped and in 'usefis inverted, as

shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so as tocompletely des- .ignated by the numeral10 which is formed envelop the baking pan proper.

Theupper part of the baking pan is of sheet metal and when in positionforms with the lower part 8 a completely inclosed chamber. This upperpart 10, in use, is fixed in position and held centered relative to theheat retainer 9 by means of the rod 11 and said part 10 is spaced fromthe top of the retainer 9 by means of a thiinble 12. interposedtherebetween and through which the rod 11 passes. This rod 11 passesalso through the handle 13, which is provided for the purpose ofremoving and placing the heat retainer 9. The covering 10 has acentrallylocated oblong slot 1d and the lower end of the rod 11 carries anelongated head 15. When it is desired toremove the part 10, it may beturned until the slot 14 coincides with the head 15 and said part 10 maythen be removed and in a; similar manner when it is desired to replacesaid partsthe slot 14 may bekbrought into coincidence with the head 15and said head projected through said slot and the part 10 then turneduntil the slot extends at right angles to the head and when in thisposition the part 10 will be locked in position between the thimble l2and the head 15.

The article to be baked is first placed in the lower part 8 of thebaking pan and said part then placed upon the platform 6 which is alinedabove the burner. The heat retainer 9 is then placed in position, itslower rim being embraced by the upwardly curved ends of the fingers 5and said fingers serving to center the heat retainer and to bring theuppenpart 10 of the baking pan immediately over the lower part 8thereof.

It is obvious that the currents of heat ascending from the burner willbe deflected by the platform 6 in all directions, but will be retainedby the retainer 9 and the heat will completely surround and envelop thebaking pan proper in which the articles to be cooked are located andsaid articles will be thoroughly and uniformly baked throughout.

It is apparent that this form of baking pan may be used in connectionwith any form of stove or fuel burner and will serve to utilize all ofthe heat passing therefrom, thus resulting in great economy of fuel, andit is also of light and simple construction so that it may be easilyused and cleansed, thus forming a cheap and practical kitchen utensil. I

While only one form of the device has been shown it is apparent that themechanical features thereof may be modified to suit differentrequirements and I hereby reserve the right to make such mechanicalchanges thereof as will not depart from the scope of the'appendedclaims,

lVhat I claim is 1. A device of the character described including asupporting platform, a pan mounted thereon, a pan-shaped covering forthe Copies of this patent may be obtained for pan, said covering fittingclosely on the pan and forming with said pan an inclosed chamber, a hoodshaped heat retainer to which said covering is detachably secured andfrom which it is spaced on all sides, said retainer enveloping said panandcovering and means independent of said pan, pan covering and heatretainer for holding the retainer and covering centered relative to thepan.

and being held centered relative to the pan by means of said fingers.

3. A device of the character described, including a circular plate,smaller in diameter than the burner opening of the stove in connectionwith which said device is used, supporting fingers radiating from saidplate and supporting the plate and having their free ends upwardlycurved, a supporting platform mounted on said plate, a pan mounted onsaid platform, a covering for the pan, said covering forming with saidpan, an inclosed chamber, a heat retainer to which said covering isdetachably secured and from which it is spaced, said retainer envolopingsaid pan and covering and directing the flame from the stove burner onall sides of the pan and covering.

In testllnony whereof I have signed my name to this specification 1n thepresence of 'two subscribing witnesses.
